Northstar Senior Living

The first part of my experience has been shaky here. The staff member who is in charge of admitting all of the residents wasn’t that helpful. She was promising things that she shouldn’t have, but the facility is standing behind her word. When it came to the transfer of my Father, it was botched. She was supposed to make all of the arrangements and when the day came, he wasn’t moved. The greyest thing about this whole procedure is the communication. This is not something we do often at all. The facility needs to be a little more thorough and upfront on what is actually covered in the cost of his care. The person who admits people will make the facility a success or a failure. Since the incident of my father not getting moved on his expected date, everything is going fairly smooth. There is, unfortunately, a learning curve to the process. We didn’t know that the facility charged an outrageous amount if they have to supply him diapers, bed pads, and gloves. So that was difficult to figure out at first on how much to order him so we don’t get charged a large fee. This is our first time doing this and this was all just thrown at us. The staff is very friendly and helpful though. There is never a point where they are not easily accessible. My father said that the food is superior to previous facilities that he’s been in. The chef is very into his career and takes it seriously. He is always open to talking with the residents and taking notes on what they want. The grounds are nice and well kept. You can tell they're always attended to. Every time I visit him, there’s nothing dirty lying around. The room itself is adequate in size and it’s a studio apartment. I would recommend this community.

Very nice accommodations. Pricing is in the ballpark. Major drawback for us is the distance. Even though it may be in the desired 10 miles, the traffic flow to New Tampa is horrendous.

I love this community. The view is amazing. People are usually very nice and helpful. Pacifica is very helpful and always bring lovely gifts. We appreciate them.

Somorford is wonderful for my mother. We looked at several other communities, but chose Somerford for its small size. My mother needs memory care, so I wanted to be sure she would be well taken care of and wouldn’t get lost in one of the larger places where the staff can be spread a little thin. My mother’s bedroom is beautiful and she has made such great friends. There are many activities for the residents like prayers, a TV room, bands, and singalongs. I’m very satisfied with my mother’s care, and how happy she is at Somerford. I would definitely recommend this community to others.

My dad is doing so well Royal Gardens of Camarillo. From the housekeepers, caregivers and front desk, everyone is so friendly and smiley. If I have any questions or concerns they are very easy to communicate with. I attended a luau there with my dad and the food was very good. Although my dad is not one to participate in all of the activities they offer, he does enjoy getting his haircut on-site at the community. They also have on-site podiatry which is very convenient. They have transportation for the residents for off-site activities such as going out to lunch, shopping, and other excursions. There is a beautiful safe courtyard with fountains, a large bird aviary, and roses. I would absolutely recommend this community to others.

I have no complaints of how things had went during my tour of this community for my loved one. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions that I had for them in detail. I liked that they had an open floor plan that was easy to navigate through. Overall it was a pleasant experience just was not the right location for us in the end decision.

We liked most of what we saw and experienced on this tour. [Removed]was a great hostess and she went over and above what we expected. We decided that we could live at Cypress Court.

I had a tour with the community and they were not impressive at all. The upkeep is not what I would have wanted. They were not suitable for my mom.

We toured The Gardens of Sun City. The staff was friendly and they gave a nice presentation of their community. They also provided us lunch at our visit. It was a clean and well-kept community. This community was our second choice. We chose another community that was closer to our family members.

i'm fine living here as a resident and everything is fine too.

Sundial Assisted Living was a nice and clean community that we toured. The staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions. The residents seemed very happy. My mom chose another community because she was looking for a certain look in the decor for what would be her new home.

Royal gardens is a great fit for my Mother. I think the staff is friendly and caring given the challenges they face with some of the residents. They are personable and know their residents needs, likes and dislikes. The other facilities that I looked into were so very expensive that I felt hopeless until I found RG. My Mom did not prepare for her senior years so cost was very much a factor, for some day I would also like to retire and be comfortable. She is content there and I visit often because I enjoy the people, both residents and staff. I feel relieved that I don't have to worry about her 24/7.

This community was nice however it was just not what my mother would be comfortable in. The community was decorated and appeared too fancy. It was extremely clean and well decorated the staff was helpful and knowledgable. They seem to have a lot of activities on a daily basis.

I have no complaints about how things are going for my mother since she has recently made the move into this community. The staff are friendly and have made sure to accommodate her needs to the best of there ability. Anytime we have had an issue the management teams handles it right away. They make sure to get mom bused over to her doctor appointments and that her medical needs are met. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone.

The tour guide at Heritage woods was very nice and helpful. When I toured, the room that my mother would have been in would have been downstairs and seemed like a hospital/nursing home more than an assisted living. There was nothing wrong with the place, but it was not what I was looking for.

My loved one's stay at LifeStream is going great! The facility is very clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly, and they are sure to cater to my loved one's needs and requests. There are lots of food options to choose from! One concern we did have is the fact that they don't offer too wide of a range of activities. Overall, my loved one is enjoying her very comfortable stay here!

My mother recently made the move to Paintbrush Assisted Living and Memory Care a few weeks ago. She is still adjusting to the changes like meal times, activities times, and other changes. The meals that they provide for her are great, she likes them. She has a friend that moved in before her and liked it.

We used this community for a respite stay. My dad was not fully happy with the meals they made. The care from the community was fine and went as accordingly but they didn't fully monitor him. If we stayed a little longer I am sure he would have adjusted well with the staff.

My husband and I stayed at Legacy at Highwoods for a respite stay and it was a pretty good experience. The staff was very helpful and accommodating during our stay. I think overall I would recommend this facility.

Very nice and friendly. Apartments were clean and adaquate. Will seriously consider this one when the time comes.
